    I need help...i have this bumper, that when i bought the truck was already installed. I cannot get ahold of the guy to figure out where he got it. Anyway. Im having problems finding a winch that will fit because it sits back and i only have 3 inches of clearance where the back of the winch bolts in. Anybody know anything i can do? Or do i just need to buy a new bumper?

    Make new brackets to move the bumper out to fit what ever winch you decide on .

    Plus whatever reinforcements might be needed if your getting into serious recovery .

    Decide on the winch first might be good to have it in hand.

    That is what I would do!!

    step 1. get a compact winch that can have the solenoid relocated and go from there

    No need to buy a new bumper or do anything until your sure it wont fit. could aways cut and relocate that support back some
